This finely crafted model features a very detailed exterior, and an equally impressive interior, where you will find a fully animated virtual cockpit. A great deal of work has gone into the various texture maps, making sure that surfaces behave the way they do in real life, like the way the light reflects of the various forms of the aircraft as you break through the clouds and hit the light. Other light effects such as, navigation and landing lights, add more depth to the exterior of the model. While a functioning autopilot and avionics for radio navigation help round the players experience in the cockpit.
Smaller but just as noticeable touches, are things like the tax flaps animations, the air brakes and spoilers for example, and the canopy animation. There are also larger touches, like the awesome engine animations, with thrust reversing and afterburner, that add a great deal of character to the aircraft and help show bring the power of this machine into you Flight Simulator.
The package comes complete with a variety of Military liveries for you to chose from, including Russian Air Force, German Democratic Republic and National People's Army, as well as repaints from Poland, Hungary and Slovakia Air Forces.
This MiG-29 also features realistic flight dynamics. Which means that the feel of the RD-33 Turbofans and their 22,200 pounds of thrust can be felt very clearly from your personal rig. Combined with looks that are as impressive as it's operational history, the formidable MiG-29 Fulcrum will make a fine addition to your hangar. You could put it right next to your F-16 Fighting Falcon.

Very good FS9 addon. The previous reviewer said that it's FSX only, or maybe that was a misunderstanding? I can confirm that this addon is perfectly functional in FS2004.
Visuals: the visual model is very accurate. I can't find any glaring errors or flaws in the aircraft's shape. I am very happy with it. The only minor issue is that the airbrake doesn't move. The airbrake on a MiG-29 isn't as prominent as the airbrake on an SU-27 or F-15, so it isn't a show-stopper ?. Don't extend the airbrakes during pre-flight checks ... You will see the braking parachute extend ?
Cockpit/VC: the cockpit is of good quality. There are some non-essential missing elements, but they don't ruin the addon. You can modify the panel.cfg if you know what you are doing ?
Sounds: good sounds, fairly well balanced and realistic.
Flight dynamics: not perfect, but not bad.
